New late soybean cultivars Rubin, Idila and Trijumf have been developed at Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops, Novi Sad, by crossing domestic and American genotypes. They differ in morphological characteristics, requirements for growing conditions and the technological quality of grain. The cultivars Rubin and Trijumf are indeterminate, and Idila the determinate growth type. The newly approved cultivars have a high yield potential. Also, Rubin and Trijumf exhibit a high level of adaptability and achieve stable yields in different agroecological conditions. The cultivar Idila requires favorable conditions for realization of high yield potential. It is recommended for growing in humid regions, on fertile soils or in fields with irrigation facilities. Taking in account its length of growing season, the optimal sowing date is the first 10 days of April, using about 400,000 of viable seeds per hectare. The cultivar Rubin has best chemical composition of grain, with balanced contents of proteins and oil. Idila has a slightly lower content of both components than Rubin, while Trijumf is a typical high oil genotype. Owing to favorable chemical composition and organoleptic characteristics, the grain of the new cultivars is an excellent raw material for preparation of articles for human consumption. The cultivar Idila is most suitable for this purpose.
